Delay outside our control, say Donegal

DONEGAL CREAMERIES yesterday announced that the release of its preliminary statement of annual financial results for 2004 has been delayed for reasons outside its control.

It said this was due to a delay in receiving results from an associate company, Monaghan Middlebrook Mushrooms, which are required to permit the company to collate its consolidated results. Monaghan has indicated that its results should be available next month and, consequently, Donegal expects to release its preliminary statement of annual results before the end of that month.

The board said it’s confident its results, when released, will be in line with market expectations.
